rendering code

[pber <paolo bernardi tin it>]

Hi people,

one intro and 2 groups of questions:

intro:

around exist some very good tools to render
source-code from dia-diagrams.
The problems comes when you make many diagrams
in which the same class is instanciated many times
and in many different way. Rendering "this" code
require a not so trivial normalization process.
At the beginning I tryied using the python-binding:
but I discovered that it didn't cover the 100%
of diagrammatic informations.

Then I turned on working around XML-code
(thanks for the indented output 
and the double-sharp-trick)!

"A" questions:

can you tell me something about
"component feature" binary associations
from UML package?
Where should I search info about that symbology?
Is it UML-standard (I dont remeber it in UML1.0,
maybe 2.x)?

"B" questions:

Can you tell me if 100% of the informations 
I can retreive from a .dia file are reachable
at run-time too:
1) in the living python objects
2) in the leaving C objects

i.e.:
Does a C-living-object knows 
the exact ID it will get after its serialization 
into the dia-file?

Does a python-living-object knows 
the exact ID it will get after its serialization 
into the dia-file?


Thanks for your great job,
best regards:
